The programme has meticulously cross-checked information from 999 calls with evidence from the Grenfell Inquiry to reveal that up to 55 of those who died were subject to advice from the LFB to stay in the burning building and wait to be rescued. Control room staff were under instructions to tell them to remain, as it was believed this was the safest thing to do at the time, until the advice changed to self-evacuate some time after 2.30am. The Inquiry has heard that the whole tower could have been evacuated in seven minutes, if this had been carried out earlier on.

Could a massive volcanic eruption devastate a major Italian city? The eruption of Mount Vesuvius is the ancient world's most haunting catastrophe. Within hours of its awakening in AD 79, deadly clouds of burning ash and gas swept down through the bustling Roman city of Pompeii, burying thousands. But few of today's inhabitants of nearby Naples realize the existence of another volcano right under their feet. In fact, the city's suburbs and outlying towns are home to hundreds of thousands of people who live inside the giant collapsed crater of an ancient supervolcano. Its last major eruption killed 6,000 people in 1631.

The Roman emperor Nero is considered one of history's greatest criminals - a cruel, insane, and brutal ruler.

But are these stories true? Can they be proven? Recent research, modern interpretations of historical sources, and new discoveries cast a different light on the accusations levelled at the Roman emperor. Secrets of the Dead: The Nero Files investigates Nero's reign with the help of criminal psychologist Thomas Müller, using "cold case" methodology.

The Believers Are But Brothers is an urgent political riff on young men and the internet, adapted for television from an award-winning play. Javaad Alipoor and director Irshad Ashraf step into the dark, blurry online world of fantasists and extremists to tell four fictional stories - of an ISIS recruiter, two British recruits and an Alt-right 'white boy' from California. Extremists of all persuasions communicate openly on social media channels and it is here that Alipoor found young men burning with resentment and empowered by digital fantasy.
